@Greg

Mr Cohon is a paid employee of the CFL. That means he works for the owners. That means he does what they tell him.

I'll break it down for ya. Here's how that phone call went right before Mr Cohon sent his letter to the City Council

Ring a Ling a ling!

Mark: Hello

Bob: Hi Mark Bob Young here. Mark I'm having a gosh darn hard time strong arming these bumpkins on Hamilton City Council into giving me their money so I can build my play land dang nabit.

Mark: I'm sorry to here that Mr Young, how can I help

Bob: Well old buddy if you could maybe send a really strongly worded letter about how much the Tiger Cats mean to Hamilton and that the CFL needs its teams to be strong and that they need stadiums with visibility and lots of parking so I can gouge all the people that have to drive there,,,,,,, oh wait leave out the parking bit..... but really make it sound doom and gloom for Hamilton if I don't get my way ok?

Mark: Any thing for you Mr Young. Mr Braley wants it that way.

Bob: Aw shuks you're a good lad Mark. Glad we hired ya!

The CFL and the Hamilton Tiger Cats are both privately run businesses. Neither of them have absolutely any business telling the city of Hamilton how to conduct its affairs.

If a brand new stadium at West Harbour is not good enough for Mr Young. He's free to go play in a bush lot in Moncton
